Chapter 24: Xuanbing Pill, Calculating Ma Xiaotao

"Nannan, Nannan, did I do something wrong? Why are you so cold to me..."

"Nannan, don't go. I'll tell you some good news. My martial soul has evolved; it's very powerful. I will definitely protect you well in the future!"

At the academy gate, Xu Sanshi was still following Jiang Nannan.

"Oh, so powerful? I'm curious, how did your martial soul evolve? Teach me?" Hearing this, Jiang Nannan felt an inexplicable disgust in her heart, narrowed her eyes, and asked with a cold smile.

Since Xu Sanshi's martial soul had already awakened, it meant that the other party should have completed that disgusting ceremony a few days ago...

Sensing Jiang Nannan's gaze, Xu Sanshi only felt a chill in his heart.

"It just... naturally happened. After being by your side for a long time, I evolved. Maybe I was moved by you..."

Xu Sanshi spouted nonsense without blushing or panting.

After all, he naturally couldn't tell the secret of the Xu family. If Jiang Nannan really knew that he had been with another girl a few days ago...

Then he and Jiang Nannan would probably never be possible in this lifetime.

"Oh."

Jiang Nannan just said "oh," turned around and left, completely too lazy to pay attention to Xu Sanshi, because she had more important things to do—investigate the black-robed person who helped her.

Since she came back, she had been trying every means to investigate the freshman information, even shamelessly lying, asking the freshman head teacher, but was told that no one's martial soul was a Wishing Tree, which made her a bit disappointed...

But she didn't think she had seen it wrong that night; those hands, those shoes, the other party's age must be very young.

Although she didn't believe this kind of thing herself, her intuition told her that this person was definitely in Shrek Academy...

"Hey, Nannan, don't go. What's wrong with you..." Xu Sanshi naturally knew nothing and followed closely like a dog-skin plaster.

A group of people around had long been used to this scene, and only many freshmen were very curious about the gossip between the two.

In the distance, Bai Zhou and Wang Dong were shopping together.

Bai Zhou had been out for so long, and Wang Dong was almost bored to death, so he made Bai Zhou compensate for his empty soul, dragging Bai Zhou out to shop every day. Today, he happened to see this scene.

"This red-head is really a lick-dog, licking until he has nothing left." Wang Dong glanced at Xu Sanshi in the distance, full of disgust.

"Yeah, so Wang Dong, you can't be a lick-dog in the future." Bai Zhou looked at Wang Dong meaningfully.

"Cut, you're the lick-dog. People chasing this young master can line up around Shrek. Would I lick someone else?" Wang Dong flicked her flashy powder-blue hair and looked disdainful.

Just then, a commotion occurred in the distance.

The next moment, a fiery red figure appeared in everyone's sight.

The person who came was a woman in red, with a tall and hot figure.

Her waist was very slender, her legs were straight and rounded, and a thick aura of youth rushed toward them.

The woman wore a red veil on her face, and her pale pink eyes easily gave people a soul-stirring feeling, attracting everyone's attention.

"Little Xu, come here."

The woman walked with her long legs, came directly to Xu Sanshi's side, and waved at Xu Sanshi.

"Ah... Sister Xiao Tao... can you go easy today..."

Xu Sanshi had originally been pestering Jiang Nannan, but the moment he saw Ma Xiaotao, he wilted on the spot, revealing a look of life being worse than death.

"Alright, if you perform well, then I'll go easy." Ma Xiaotao walked over, patted Xu Sanshi's shoulder lightly, and appeared very generous.

Her Phoenix Evil Fire was extremely powerful and special, and only the water attribute of Xu Sanshi's Black Tortoise Shield could suppress it.

Of course, dual cultivation with Xu Sanshi was impossible, so she could only use other methods...

For example, beating Xu Sanshi until he produced water. Only then could she use the other party's water attribute to barely extinguish the fire.

"Ma Xiaotao, finally waited for you..."

Seeing Ma Xiaotao, Bai Zhou grinned. For these days, he had reduced the number of times he cultivated with Tang Ya, just to stake out Ma Xiaotao.

Counting the time, Ma Xiaotao's Phoenix Evil Fire should have erupted once, and it happened to be bumped into by Huo Yu Hao, and then it happened to be resolved by the Skydream Ice Silkworm.

Because Bai Zhou could feel that the soul power level of Huo Yu Hao, who was selling grilled fish nearby, had reached level 13; it was highly likely that he had consumed a Soul Ascension Pill...

After all, the protagonist is the protagonist, and his luck is outrageously strong.

Fortunately, Bai Zhou's persistent staking out finally found her.

Just as Ma Xiaotao and Xu Sanshi were pulling at each other, Bai Zhou decisively took out a pill he had prepared long ago and stuffed it into his pocket.

The pill he took out was called "Xuanbing Pill," which was an ice-attribute pill Bai Zhou wished for. It could completely absorb Ma Xiaotao's Phoenix Evil Fire. Of course, the effect only lasted for 7 days; it needed to be taken once every 7 days, and after getting used to it, one would become addicted...

Of course, it was just a pure addiction, like being addicted to playing games, with no side effects, just because of Ma Xiaotao's evil fire, Ma Xiaotao's demand might be a bit high.

To handle Ma Xiaotao, one pill was enough.

Ma Xiaotao was dragging Xu Sanshi to the academy's training room for a hearty battle. When she passed by Bai Zhou, she suddenly sensed something, and her gaze fell on Bai Zhou abruptly.

"What do you want to do!"

Before Ma Xiaotao could speak, Wang Dong was very vigilant, or rather, extremely protective of food, blocking directly in front of Bai Zhou, not letting Ma Xiaotao get close to Bai Zhou.

He knew Bai Zhou was a lecherous guy, and he couldn't let Bai Zhou be seduced away by this red-haired vixen.

"Little junior brother, do you have any ice-attribute treasure on you?" Ma Xiaotao ignored the flashy Wang Dong and stared straight at Bai Zhou, full of longing.

"Senior sister, are you talking about this Xuanbing Pill?" Bai Zhou pretended to know nothing and took out the small blue pill from his pocket.

"Xuanbing Pill..."

Ma Xiaotao murmured, clearly having never heard of it, but her intuition told her that this pill had an extremely powerful restraining effect on her evil fire.

"What effect does this pill have? How much does it cost? I'll buy it!" Ma Xiaotao grabbed Bai Zhou's wrist, her eyes burning, as if she had discovered some great treasure.

"The effect of the Xuanbing Pill is to assist ice-attribute Soul Masters in cultivation. I obtained it by accident. Since senior sister likes it, I'll give it to you."

Bai Zhou smiled slightly and handed the Xuanbing Pill directly to Ma Xiaotao.

Ma Xiaotao took the Xuanbing Pill. The moment she touched the Xuanbing Pill, her feeling became clearer, and the restlessness of the evil fire in her body stopped for a moment.

Ma Xiaotao didn't hesitate and consumed the Xuanbing Pill on the spot.

The Xuanbing Pill melted upon entering her mouth, and the terrifying ice-cold power exploded in Ma Xiaotao's body, spreading throughout her body, completely suppressing her evil fire in the blink of an eye.

"This feeling..." Ma Xiaotao widened her beautiful eyes, almost feeling like she was flying to the sky.

The evil fire was in her body, and she had to spend energy to suppress it all the time. If she didn't suppress it, it might go berserk. Since she had the evil fire, she didn't dare to be too invested whether she was sleeping, eating, or cultivating, for fear that the evil fire would go berserk if she wasn't careful.

Even Xu Sanshi's "Black Tortoise Water" could barely suppress it.

And now, her evil fire was completely suppressed.

This made her recall her teenage years, that kind of carefree time when she could cultivate without any scruples...
